Your type, too," she said, her voice dripping with amusement.Nicole chuckled and shook her head. "Yes, but we're just good friends, Ash. That's all."Ashley's grin grew wider, and she let out a playful chuckle. "Yeah, yeah, everything starts with 'just friends' only," she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief.Nicole rolled her eyes good-naturedly, a smile still playing on her lips.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard, typing away with a speed and accuracy that came from years of practice.

She caught sight of Josh, her colleague, walking towards her office, a bright smile spreading across his face. Ashley's lips curved upwards in response, and she waved at Josh through the screen.Josh chuckled and waved back, his eyes crinkling at the corners. He knocked on the doorframe, and Ashley called out, "Come on in!"Josh ambled into the office, his long strides eating up the distance.

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room. Nicole was busy in the kitchen, sipping her coffee and checking her phone for any important messages. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Nicole's heart skipped a beat as she wondered who it could be.She wiped her hands on a towel and made her way to the front door. As she opened it, a bright smile spread across her face.
